Are election returns for state offices on the Internet somewhere?
Results in elections are typically posted in two separate places depending on the issue or candidate in question. For local elections, you can check with your county auditor whose job it is to oversee the process and tabulation. For issues and candidates at both the state and federal level, your state’s Secretary of State is tasked with tabulation or organizational management. In most areas of the U.S., both of these offices have websites where you can locate more information about how their respective offices work. Also, during certain times of the year, you can even arrange for tours of the facilities to see firsthand how the process works.
